[SotA Stratics] Valentine’s Day SoTA Contest

Click the image above to visit The Bards of Poet’s Circle Guild.
There has been no shortage of contests and incentives on the Shroud of the Avatar (SotA) website. If you doubt me, and are a member of their official forums, go check out what will happen if donations hit $3.25 million by February 20th. It’s getting pretty interesting.
This contest for Valentine’s Day is quite fun. I am personally participating so you probably won’t win but give it a try! Use your writing talents to pen a love poem for SotA mega-fans Dame Lori or Dom John (you can also write poems to other SotA team members – see details below). The contest is being hosted by the bard group The Bards of Poets’ Circle with prizes being provided by Portalarium. The submissions will go through a selection process by Holt Ironfell, then presented to the official judges and they will select their favorites to win prizes.You have to have your submissions to by 10pm Pacific on February 13. Hurry and participate in this fun contest. There will be a live broadcast starting Saturday, 5pm Pacific, to announce the winners and otherwise goof off with this amazing community.
